Key Takeaways
The new UltraLift Series for shallow water is designed to provide reliable lift capability where traditional lifts might struggle due to limited depth, offering stability and ease of use even with fluctuating water levels.
Featuring corrosion‑resistant materials and adjustable options, this series supports a variety of boat sizes while minimizing strain on the lift mechanism in shallow environments.
With thoughtful engineering that prioritizes accessibility and durability, the shallow water UltraLift models help owners enjoy waterfront time without compromising safety or performance.
New in 2018!
The Ultra Lift ™ Series Shallow Water Lift™ incorporates a longer tank with a lower profile to allow for operation in as little as three feet of water. Constructed of durable polyethylene, it is impact and puncture resistant.
Utilizing the same frame components as the Ultra Lift ™ the Shallow Water Boat Lift has been engineered to keep the galvanized steel components on the top side of the tank, minimizing corrosion and maximizing the life of your lift.

FAQs
What makes a shallow water boat lift different?
Shallow water lifts are engineered to work effectively in limited depth by positioning support structures and flotation where deeper water isn’t available, allowing you to raise your boat securely even with less draft.
Who benefits most from a shallow water lift?
Boaters on lakes, rivers, or coves with consistently low water levels or shallow approaches will find these lifts particularly helpful, as they enable safe storage without needing extra dredging or modification.
Does a shallow water lift require special maintenance?
Maintenance is similar to other lifts — periodic inspection of cables, hardware, and corrosion protection — but owners should check more frequently for debris or abrasion common in shallow zones.
